"I particularly admire in Barbara Goldberg the inventiveness of her mind and the brilliant assurance of her craft."--Stanley Kunitz

"Her poems come of a nature simultaneously erotic, austere, and of good will. It may be said of Goldberg, as it has been said of Shakespeare, that a dirty mind is a perennial resource."--Howard Nemerov

“One envies her good eye and celebrates the voice that in its ‘hunger for clarity’ speaks.”--Lucille Clifton
